Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of injection molded lunch box technology, and in particular to a stackable multi-compartment injection molded lunch box. Background Technology
[0002] As modern families increasingly demand healthier and more convenient food, the market demand for lunch boxes is growing. Multi-compartment lunch boxes, in particular, are favored for their ability to effectively separate food and prevent flavors from mixing. However, traditional lunch boxes often require multiple stacks for storage or transport. Existing designs are prone to slipping or tipping over when stacked due to structural instability, causing inconvenience in daily use. This is especially true in scenarios such as family picnics or bringing lunch to work, where the stability of stacked lunch boxes directly affects the user experience and food preservation.
[0003] Currently, the stacking design of household lunch boxes on the market mainly relies on simple geometric matching or external auxiliary structures. For example, some lunch boxes use grooves or protrusions on the bottom of the box to physically engage with the opening edge of the upper lunch box, using the friction of the contact surface to prevent slippage. Other designs use a nested structure, achieving initial fixation through the conical fit between the upper and lower boxes.
[0004] The existing stacking design of household lunch boxes generally suffers from insufficient stability. Especially when subjected to external shaking or handling, the stacking method relying solely on geometric matching or friction is insufficient to effectively prevent relative sliding between lunch boxes. This defect causes the lunch boxes to easily shift or even tip over during carrying or storage, which not only affects aesthetics and ease of use, but also causes food leakage or container damage. To address this issue, a stackable multi-compartment injection-molded lunch box is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a stackable multi-compartment injection molded lunch box, which aims to improve the problem in the prior art that the stacking method relying solely on geometric matching or friction is difficult to effectively prevent relative sliding between lunch boxes when subjected to external shaking or handling.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A stackable multi-compartment injection-molded lunch box includes a lunch box one and a lunch box two. The lunch box one is provided with a lunch box lid at the top, and the lunch box lid is snapped onto the top of the lunch box one. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the top of the lunch box lid. A connecting frame is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lunch box two. The connecting plate is slidably connected inside the connecting frame. A buckle assembly is provided inside the connecting plate.
[0008] The buckle assembly includes a locking ball, which is slidably connected inside the connecting plate and engages with the connecting frame. A limiting plate is fixedly connected to the side wall of the locking ball, and the limiting plate is slidably connected inside the connecting plate. A spring is provided inside the connecting plate, with one end fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting plate and the other end fixedly connected to the side wall of the limiting plate. A partition is slidably connected inside the food container, and a positioning assembly is provided inside the partition.
[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0010] The positioning component includes a positioning post, which is slidably connected inside the partition.
[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0012] The food container has a positioning hole inside, and one end of the positioning post engages with the positioning hole.
[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0014] The food container has a limiting groove inside, and a sliding block is fixedly connected to the side wall of the partition. The sliding block is slidably connected inside the limiting groove.
[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0018] A pull ring is provided at the other end of the positioning post, and one side of the pull ring is fixedly connected to the other end of the positioning post.
[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0020] A second spring is fitted on the outer wall of the positioning column. One end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sliding disk, and the other end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the partition.
[0021] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0022] 1. In this utility model, the connecting plate is slidably connected inside the connecting frame, which drives the lunch box one and lunch box two to be initially stacked. Then, the locking ball in the buckle assembly is engaged with the connecting frame under the action of spring one and the limiting plate, which drives the lunch box one and lunch box two to be firmly connected, thereby enabling multiple lunch boxes to be stacked stably, thus achieving the effect of preventing sliding and tipping during stacking, solving the problem of easy displacement of stacked lunch boxes, and improving stacking stability.
[0023] 2. In this utility model, the sliding block slides inside the limiting groove, causing the partition to move within the lunch box to adjust the space. Then, the positioning post in the positioning component engages with the positioning hole under the action of the spring and the sliding plate, fixing the partition in the adjusted position. This allows the internal space of the lunch box to be flexibly adjusted, thus achieving the effect of adapting to different food storage needs, solving the problem of fixed internal space of the lunch box, and improving the flexibility of use.

The lunch box 1 is used to hold food and serves as the lower lunch box. The lunch box 2 serves as the upper lunch box and is stacked with the lunch box 1. The top of the lunch box 1 is provided with a lunch box lid 3, which is used to seal the lunch box 1 to prevent food leakage. The lunch box lid 3 is snapped onto the top of the lunch box 1 to achieve quick opening and closing. A connecting plate 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the lunch box lid 3. The connecting plate 4 serves as a connecting component to connect the upper and lower lunch boxes. A connecting frame 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lunch box 2. The connecting frame 5 and the connecting plate 4 cooperate to form a sliding connection structure. The connecting plate 4 is slidably connected inside the connecting frame 5 to achieve initial positioning. A buckle component is provided inside the connecting plate 4 to lock the stacked state.
[0033] The snap-fit assembly includes a snap-fit ball 6, which is used to form a mechanical interlock with the connecting frame 5. The snap-fit ball 6 is slidably connected inside the connecting plate 4 to achieve telescopic movement. The snap-fit ball 6 engages with the connecting frame 5 to prevent the lunch box from sliding relative to each other. A limiting plate 7 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the snap-fit ball 6, which limits the range of motion of the snap-fit ball 6. The limiting plate 7 is slidably connected inside the connecting plate 4 to ensure the stability of the movement. A spring 8 is provided inside the connecting plate 4, which provides the return elasticity of the snap-fit ball 6. One end of the spring 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting plate 4, and the other end of the spring 8 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the limiting plate 7 to form elastic support. A partition 9 is slidably connected inside the lunch box 1, which is used to divide the internal space of the lunch box. A positioning component is provided inside the partition 9 to fix the position of the partition 9.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 5 The positioning component includes a positioning post 13, which is used to fix the position of the partition 9. The positioning post 13 is slidably connected inside the partition 9 to achieve telescopic movement. The lunch box 1 has a positioning hole 11 inside, which cooperates with the positioning post 13 to form a locking structure. One end of the positioning post 13 is engaged with the positioning hole 11 to prevent the partition 9 from moving. The lunch box 1 has a limiting groove 10 inside, which is used to guide the movement trajectory of the partition 9. A sliding block 12 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the partition 9. The sliding block 12 cooperates with the limiting groove 10 to limit the movement direction of the partition 9. The sliding block 12 is slidably connected inside the limiting groove 10 to ensure the movement of the partition 9. To ensure smooth sliding, a sliding disc 14 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the positioning column 13. The sliding disc 14 is used to drive the positioning column 13 to move synchronously.

The pull ring 16 facilitates manual operation of the positioning column 13. One side of the pull ring 16 is fixedly connected to the other end of the positioning column 13 to form a force application point. A second spring 15 is sleeved on the outer wall of the positioning column 13. The second spring 15 provides the reset elastic force of the positioning column 13. One end of the second spring 15 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sliding disc 14, and the other end of the second spring 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the partition 9 to form elastic support.
[0035] Working principle: When stacking lunch boxes, first, snap the lunch box lid 3 onto the top of lunch box 1. Align the connecting plate 4 fixed to the top of lunch box lid 3 with the connecting frame 5 at the bottom of lunch box 2. Push lunch box 2 to move the connecting frame 5 onto the outside of the connecting plate 4. The connecting plate 4 slides inside the connecting frame 5. During this process, the inner wall of the connecting frame 5 presses against the retaining ball 6, causing the retaining ball 6 to slide inwards from the connecting plate 4. The retaining ball 6 drives the limiting plate 7 to slide synchronously and compress the spring 8. When the retaining ball 6 corresponds to the snapping position on the connecting frame 5, the spring 8 resets and pushes the limiting plate 7, causing the retaining ball 6 to pop out. It engages with the connecting frame 5 to complete the stacking and fixing of lunch box 1 and lunch box 2. When it is necessary to adjust the internal space of lunch box 1, pull the pull ring 16 to drive the positioning post 13 to slide outward of the partition 9. The positioning post 13 drives the sliding plate 14 to slide synchronously and stretch the spring 2 15, so that the positioning post 13 disengages from the positioning hole 11, pushes the partition 9 to drive the sliding block 12 to slide inside the limiting groove 10. After adjusting to the appropriate position, release the pull ring 16, the spring 2 15 returns to its original position and pulls the sliding plate 14, driving the positioning post 13 to insert into the corresponding positioning hole 11, thereby fixing the partition 9.
